More Color. The Fashion Icon Gets A Shirt

by Jon Katz

It might be the pandemic, or it might be a desire to brighten up in old age, or it might be the not-to-gentle harassment and needling of my artist wife, who is bored of looking at so much blue.

I did order what I think is a loud shirt online, and I like it. My glasses have some color, my socks have a lot of color, and  now, nobody can say everything I wear is dark blue

Maria said this new evoked the Italian mob a bit,  think it must have been the hat.

Please note the golden sun sewn into the left knee. My new jeans got a hole poked into them (Zinnia, I’m guessing,) and Maria took it into her magic studio for some repair.

And “zowie,” a golden sun appeared on my knee. No more hole. People keep warning me there’s a spider on my leg.

It is very cool being married to an artist, although there is the pressure to brighten things up. It’s okay, it could have been louder.

  1. I really like the new look, Jon! Open to Change takes a wide path, for each of us and the world.

  2. Love the sun on your knee Jon. and your new shirt! At first I thought the sun spot on your knee was a reflection from the camera lens, then I looked again and read your blog post. Yer lookin’ very spiffy!

  3. My eye went to that knee first thing. Like, what is that dot doing there? Nice collaboration between Zinnia and Maria to jazz up the jeans along with the rest of the outfit
